[Water they saie will not wild-fyer quench]

Water they saie will not wild-fyer quench
Then wild-fire in thy stoue thou bearst dutch-wench
For yf by water it would quenched bee
Then out il would; soe waterd tis by thee
But why it wil not out, I nowe doe knowe
Thy bellowes wench; they alwaies puff and blowe.
